No wisecrack intended, but there aren't any transceivers that cover all the Tech bands, since the Tech bands include a great many microwave allocations.

But, those previously mentioned are the current crop of radios that really support the most popular Tech bands, including VHF/UHF and HF.

I don't normally think of the TS-2000 as a mobile rig, but there is a remote control head for it, so you can trunk-mount the main radio. The IC-7000 gets good reviews for its' ability to handle ignition noise, which is a big factor in mobiles.

Thanks for the information

Thanks for the information. I'm still learning. It can get a bit confusing with all of the available options out there. I should have phrased my question better. What I am looking for is a radio that will work the 2,6,70 cm bands and 28.300 - 28.500 MHz on the 10 meter band. These bands are within the Technician band allocations.

I'd second the FT-857/897 series, or an Icom 706IIG/IC-7000.They're great first radios for several reasons:

1) They're highly versatile - they can operate HF/6m/2m/70cm on FM and SSB - don't forget you can operate simplex on single sideband on 6m/2m! Though the VHF bands are mostly used for repeaters and FM work, SSB VHF contacts are a fun way to enter the world of DXing. (When you decide to learn CW, you can also use them to get on portions of the 80m/40m and 15m CW bands without having to upgrade your ticket!)

2) They're fairly portable - put it in your vehicle, work it as a base station. Going camping? Take along a dry-cell lead acid battery, the radio and a portable antenna and your ready to go.

3) High powered - if you don't absolutely need an HT, these radios allow you that extra "punch" in power when you need it. You'd be hard pressed to find a handheld that can put 50 watts out on 2 meters! (Also note, the FT-897D has an optional battery for backpack operation upto 20 watts)

4) Room to grow - as others have noted, when you decide to upgrade your ham ticket, you don't have to buy another radio. Its all there, ready to go.

5) General coverage receive - all these rigs have full HF general coverage receive, so you can listen in on the amazing world of HF radio - shortwave broadcasts, WWV, DXpeditions and more. Just throw up a wire in your attic/tree and you've got a great listening station! They also are good for listening to fire/police/aircraft radio.

I was happy with my purchase of the Icom IC-718, but if I did it again I would pass and go with a Yaesu, like the FT-857, a little bit more in terms of price, but its also has just a bit more than than the Icom. IC-718 is a base unit and was a solid little rig for me for 2 years before I decided to upgrade to something more (FT-1000MP, used).
